Summary
The purpose of this bill is to require the biological sex to be limited to male or female and to require that nonbinary birth certificates not be issued. The bill also provides circumstances when an amended birth certificate may be issued to change gender. This may be issued based upon a chromosomal count that does not match the sex as different in the registered birth certificate. The bill states the evidence required to amend the birth certificate.
